**The Article** *Magersfontein Lugg confirms that this small shawl, which can be worn in multiple ways, is indeed the genuine article* **Yarn** Kate Davies Designs Milarrochy Tweed (70% Wool; 30% Mohair; 100m / 109yds per 25g ball) A Hirst / Lochan x 5 balls B Chingly / Thrift x 3 balls C Thrift / Smirr x 3 balls **Needles and notions** Gauge size needle (100cm length) Tapestry needle Wires and pins are strongly recommended to block the shawl to the correct shape and dimensions **Gauge** 20 sts and 40 rows to 4 inches over garter stitch worked back and forth. Use 4mm needle as a starting point for swatching. If you are one of the many knitters who do not swatch for shawls, it is worth checking your gauge after knitting the first wedge: garter stitch is hungry, and you may use signifcantly more yarn if your gauge varies from the one specified. **Size** Finished length (longest edge, blocked): 148cm /58 ¼ in Finished width (widest point, blocked): 69 cm / 27¼ in **Pattern notes** This simple shawl is worked in a series of short row wedges, with alternating garter-stitch stripes and a neat slipped stitch edging. The resulting shape - something like a tear-drop, Paisley motif, or single wing - sits comfortably on the bias around the neck and shoulders.
